Baremetrics

Overview

Baremetrics connects to billing providers — Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, App Store, and others — via API to calculate and surface subscription metrics including monthly recurring revenue, churn rate, average revenue per user, and lifetime value. It is primarily a dashboard used internally by SaaS finance and growth teams. A subset of customers use its Open Startups feature to embed a public-facing metrics page on their website, transparently sharing real-time revenue data.

What This Script Does

For the majority of implementations, Baremetrics is a SaaS application with no browser-side footprint on third-party websites. When the Open Startups embed is used, the following occurs:

• A script or iframe loaded from baremetrics.com renders the public metrics dashboard on the host page
• The embed loads within the visitor's browser, transmitting the visitor's IP address and browser metadata to Baremetrics servers
• Baremetrics' own analytics tooling (the platform uses third-party analytics internally) may fire when the embed initializes
• No advertising cookies are set by Baremetrics itself, but the embed constitutes a third-party server connection

For companies using Baremetrics internally only — with no Open Startups embed — there is no browser-side presence on their public website.

Consent & Compliance

• Consent Category: Analytics
• GDPR/ePrivacy: If the Baremetrics Open Startups embed is present on your website, it constitutes loading third-party resources that log visitor IP addresses and browser metadata at Baremetrics' servers. Under GDPR, this constitutes personal data processing requiring a lawful basis. Under ePrivacy, any cookies the embed sets require opt-in consent unless strictly necessary.
• CCPA: Baremetrics is US-based. If personal information from California residents is processed by the embed, standard CCPA service provider requirements apply.
• Data transfer: As a US company, Baremetrics should be covered by appropriate transfer mechanisms for EU visitor data.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Yes. If your website embeds a Baremetrics Open Startups widget, treat it as a third-party analytics resource and gate it behind analytics consent. If Baremetrics is used only internally as a SaaS dashboard with no site embed, no visitor-facing action is required.
